Some Data since the 70s. Begs the question, are Democrats fit to lead?

[WTH_Progs?]

Here's a bitchn' collection of data since the 70s. Looking at the 70s, the 2000's where the Dems took over under Obama, and wholly cow today, you figure the left are fit to lead?

Sure the budget was balanced for a time in the 90s with Clinton and a Republican congress. But fuck, that came with the internet, advanced Chinese trade and globalization. Was it worth it in the long run, considering our decline in socialization and standard of living?

[Oddball]

no

But neither are most republicans.

 

[Moonglow]

Looking at the 70s, where the Dems took over under Obama

I must have missed that decade.

 

[WTH_Progs?]

I must have missed that decade.

So, what do you think about those Carter, O'bummer & Xiden with Democrat congress numbers?

They suck as much as the Repubs like Ford and Trump. I am still wondering where all the socialism happened.

Not sure what you mean, Trump's numbers were GREAT and Ford was in office what, a year or so?
